I have a 5x5 and a 7x7 Vcube, I want to get one of those 11x11 ones I've seen on eBay but they cost around £100 (No idea what that is in USD) When the 7x7's pop they go bloody everywhere and can be a bitch to rebuild, I lost a single piece on my first one so I had to fork out for another one for the sake of one little bit.

yeah thats called the beginners method . its pretty good its simple but not flexible . though ive never really gone for the times and stuff i just got bored and had a rubik cube and the cycle continued
